The experience

That's the thing about a hop-on hop-off trolley that nobody mentions until you're standing there with a map. You're not locked into someone else's pace. The Old Town Trolley runs every 20 minutes from 9am to 5pm, which means if you want to spend an hour at Forsyth Park photographing that famous fountain, or grab lunch at City Market and actually sit down, you just hop off and catch the next one. The tour starts at the Old Savannah Distillery on Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, and from there the trolley hits 15 stops across the historic district, including River Street, the Davenport House Museum, Madison Square, and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

What makes this different from walking is that you get the narrated context: the guide talks through the history and architecture as you roll past, so you're not just looking at old buildings, you're understanding why they matter. The stops themselves are real: City Market gets a full 30 minutes built in, which is enough time to browse the restored warehouses and grab coffee. River Street is another natural pause point, and the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace and the three connected Girl Scout historic sites are stops where you can actually get off and walk through if you want, or just listen from the trolley. The Massie Heritage Center, Civil Rights Museum, and the Waving Girl statue (Florence Martus, greeting ships from 1868 onward) are all on the loop too.

Accessibility is straightforward: standard wheelchairs fit on the trolley, though you need to call 24 hours ahead to request one. Kids under 4 ride free, and strollers are fine. The trolley is wheelchair accessible, and if your chair collapses and you can use a seat, you can fold it up and store it on board. Just tell the crew when you board. The whole thing is narrated, so even if you're just riding and not hopping off, you're getting the story of Savannah as it unfolds. Buses run every 20 minutes, so if you miss one, another is coming soon.
